No one said it was 100%.

It sure doesn't stop people from showing up and lowballing your offer either.

I will give it to you, you can always find the worst in a situation. And when it isn't there, you can invent it.

As someone who negotiated my own `50% raise a couple of years back all I can say is if you don't ask for it, you won't get it. The worst that happens is they say no. Typically it serves as a negotiating point.

In fact this makes him evenore tradeable.

If you understand what a superstars arb and free agent years look like, you understand why this take is comical.

This is a take. These deals save teams a TON of money during these deals. Sure some guys fail, but this contract was not going to hurt the Sox. That is comical.

Eloy will almost certainly get hurt for a stretch. Robert too. Having more good OFs is a really good idea.

I would RATHER spend money in FA and keep our quality depth.

There couldn't be a worse reason to not make a trade. If he is scared, he needs to find a new job.

If we put Max in the front of our rotation, I am fully OK with us dumpster diving for RF and 2B.

All three of them can miss. They earned it.

That was a heck of a lot of IFs for a franchise who hasn't shown the ability to do much product, especially on the offensive side of the football, for decades nwo.

The problem is they aren't going to be able to put a team around him before he can leave.

So when can the Bears cut Mack without it killing them under the cap?

Of course it would melt down upon arrival...

Of course the White Sox can't evaluate candy either, so it ends up sour.

End the thread here.

Correa won't take less than Lindor ($341m) https://www.audacy.com/sportsradio610/sports/houston-astros/report-yankees-looking-to-sign-stopgap-shortstop?fbclid=IwAR1fu6CRDlFAKIsSjeg9fmmB8vtDIyPE8XsXjU25WarP1-21zHlm_rsN4K4

Going for it this year was a great idea...

Agreed. I got on there literally the second it started, and the only other thing I tried to pick up was the Abreu spring training jersey, but it was instantly gone.

Yep, keep telling me how this doesn't bother you. Move on man. Let it go.

Yes you are so not upset, you are still bringing it up, after bringing it up again about it two months ago. Plus still upset about it being locked that you need to project on that as well. Sounds exactly like someone who isn't holding on to bitterness.

Anyone else buy anything today at the virtual garage sale? I got a Burr jersey to complete my Hamilton/Burr collection.
